Welcome from the Chairs
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to Intelectro 2026, an international conference organized by MDPI and supported by the MDPI journals Electronics and Micromachines. The event will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from 7–9 October 2026.
Intelectro 2026 aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and innovators working at the forefront of modern electronics, from micro- and nanoscale systems to intelligent, AI-driven devices that are shaping the next generation of technology. As electronics continue to evolve at a remarkable speed, cross-disciplinary collaboration has never been more essential. This conference provides a unique platform to explore advances in MEMS/NEMS, sensors and actuators, microfluidics, flexible electronics, energy harvesting, optoelectronics, embedded and intelligent systems, IoT, quantum and neuromorphic devices, and many other rapidly advancing areas.
We welcome submissions for short talks and poster presentations related to the conference themes. Intelectro 2026 will offer an engaging and dynamic environment where participants can share their latest findings, discuss emerging challenges, and build meaningful connections across academia, industry, and applied research.
We look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona for three inspiring days of scientific exchange, innovation, and collaboration.
Sincerely,
José Luis Sánchez-Rojas and Piero Cosseddu

Location and Venue
Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital and largest city of Catalonia and is Spain's second-largest city, with a population of over one and a half million people.
Located on the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Spain, this city has a rich and diverse history, with its roots dating back to Roman times. The fruitful medieval period established Barcelona's position as the economic and political center of the Western Mediterranean. The city's Gothic Quarter bears witness to the splendor enjoyed by the city from the 13th to the 15th centuries.
The 20th century ushered in widespread urban renewal throughout Barcelona city, culminating in its landmark Eixample district, which showcases some of Barcelona's most distinctive Catalan art-nouveau, or modernista, buildings. The Catalan Antoni Gaudí, one of the most eminent architects, designed buildings such as La Pedrera, the Casa Batlló, and the Sagrada Família church, which have become world-famous landmarks.
In 1992, Barcelona gained international recognition by hosting the Olympic games, which brought about a massive upturn in its tourism industry. For visitors, this has translated into the very modern yet incredibly old city you see now in the 21st century, where new elements work to both preserve and celebrate the city’s heritage and origins.
Barcelona has plenty of outdoor markets, restaurants, shops, museums, and churches. The city is also very walkable, with an extensive and reliable Metro system for more far-flung destinations.
